Coming to America

My trip to the States is now officially booked, and the chosen city is Chicago.

As this is going to be my first visit to America, I needed help; after all, when you live in a quiet little village where you only have to worry about stray bulls and tractors, America does seem daunting. Thankfully, help has come in the form of Classy, Cherry and Dr Ken, who have promised to take good care of me, by showing me the sights and making sure my blood alcohol level does not drop too low. And special thanks to Cherry, who has been kind enough to put me up for the week!!

The highlight of the trip is going to be St Patrick's Day, and from all I've read so far, looks like it's going to be a big one. I really thought people were joking when they said the river would run green. Then I saw pictures. This is something I must see.

So all I have to do now is wait for March to roll round, practice speaking American, and prepare myself for what looks to be an exciting week!
